Bush
Calls Gaddafi Upon Cashing In
US$1,5-billion From Tripoli |
|
|
|
November 18, 2008 Washington - President
George W Bush called Libya's Muammar Gaddafi
to voice his satisfaction with a
US$1,5-billion payment that Tripoli made to
settle a long-standing dispute over attacks,
including the bombing of a Pan Am jet over
Scotland, the White House said on Monday.
In their conversation, Bush and Gaddafi
"discussed that this agreement should help to
bring a painful chapter in the history between
our two countries closer to closure", White
House spokesperson Gordon Johndroe said in a
statement.
Libya's October 31 payment cleared the last
hurdle in restoration of full normalisation of
diplomatic relations between Washington and
Tripoli.
The money will go into a $1,8-billion fund
that will pay $1,5-billion in claims for the
1988 Pan Am 103 bombing over Lockerbie,
Scotland, and the 1986 bombing of a German
disco.
Another $300-million will go to Libyan victims
of US airstrikes ordered in retaliation for
the disco bombing.
David Welch, a State department diplomat who
negotiated the agreement, said at the time
that payments to US victims' families should
start within days, and family groups hailed
the news.
"While we will always mourn the loss of life
as a result of past terrorist activities, the
settlement agreement is an important step in
repairing the relationship between Libya and
the United States," said the statement that
Johndroe released on Monday.
"Libya has taken important steps on the road
to normalising its relations with the
international community, beginning with its
renunciation in 2003 of terrorism and weapons
of mass destruction," the statement said.
"The United States will continue to work on
the bilateral relationship with Libya, with
the aim of establishing a dialogue that
encompasses all subjects, including human
rights reform and the fight against
terrorism." |
